Roar!
The bloodthirsty and berserk Magical Beasts continued their hunt relentlessly. They wished badly to tear to shreds the dwarf hung on the Battle Soul Blade, and they left the camp far away under the lure of Yang Ling. There were many God-Level Flying Magical Beasts among them as swift as lightning, and there weren’t any slower than Yang Ling. There were even some swifter than him by a tad, but it was a pity that every time they overtook him, Yang Ling would use The Five Elements Evasion Spells or the Teleportation Gate to teleport away, and their attacks would hit thin air repeatedly.
“Fine, it’s time to finish this game!” After Yang Ling flew for more than an hour and led the Magical Beasts toward a distant basin, he teleported again and pulled open the distance between him and the Magical Beasts. He spoke and looked coldly at the dying dwarf.
“You, you shouldn’t kill me. If you kill... If you kill me, Algernon Divine Branch won’t let you off.” When the feeble dwarf saw Yang Ling’s ice-cold look, he discerned that this was far from good and he tried to use Algernon Divine Branch’s prestige to survive this crisis.
“Hehe, even if it’s Algernon Divine Branch, so what? Even if your Divine Lord rushed here personally, he wouldn’t manage to save your life. You should bear in mind this, if there is a next life, then wipe your eyes and don’t follow Algernon Birdmen System.” Yang Ling’s expression was ice-cold and he used the Blade Form with his right hand. He thrust his hand at the dwarf’s chest and took out his Godhead.
“Ah! Spare my life. Lord, spare my life. As long as you let me leave, I will inform you of all the secrets.” The body of the pained dwarf shivered. His Godhead had already been taken out, but he had an outstanding constitution, and he still didn’t die. His limbs were spasming, and it seemed like he made the last struggle at death’s door.
But, it was a pity that everything was futile in the face of a Great Soul Wizard such as Yang Ling.
“Even if you don’t divulge them, I have a way to learn the secrets I want.”
Yang Ling was unmoved, and he pulled out the sharp Battle Soul Blade. He chopped off the dwarf’s head before he refined and absorbed his soul. He still took the spatial ring around the dwarf’s finger before he used the Teleportation Gate and left quickly. He went toward the Wanderer Camp, where the crowd was situated. There were many bloodthirsty and berserk Magical Beasts on his previous location, and they all rushed forward. They tore the dwarf’s corpse to shreds.
This time, the dwarf followed the young master Dio and traveled with him. He was quite energetic, and he hoped to leave a favorable impression on the young master. He also wanted to make a great contribution and get a Dragon Head Ring. He didn’t expect that he kicked a tough iron plate by mistake, and he had even lost his life after working so hard.
“Let’s leave, let’s set off promptly. The Magical Beasts were lured away, and we should take advantage of this chance to cross Baikal Lake.” After Yang Ling went back to the Wanderer Camp, he quickly rode a Twin-legged Flying Dragon. He planned to lead the crowd and leave the messy Wanderer Camp at the highest speed possible.
“Lord, wait for a while. It will be done shortly.” The Corpse Wizard King was quite excited, and he led the Thousand-handed Blood Vine Elizabeth, Mammoth Barthey, and others. They picked the Godheads, spatial rings, and other treasures off the ground.
After Yang Ling had lured the numerous Magical Beasts away, the Corpse Wizard King rushed out daringly and started cleaning the battlefield. He took all valuable treasures, and he focused on collecting the Godheads and spatial rings left behind by the Wanderers after their deaths. He was pressed for time and couldn’t clean the whole battlefield, but he still managed to collect a large number of Godheads and spatial rings in an hour.
There were only a few people who survived this crisis by chance, and most of the thousand Wanderers in the camp died. Some were torn to shreds by the berserk Magical Beasts and even their Godheads were shattered. But some were just badly mangled and they still retained their Godheads. The Corpse Wizard King led the crowd and took out those Godheads one by one.
“Rodriguez, let’s go. If we still don’t go, we won’t have enough time to do so” When Yang Ling saw that the Corpse Wizard King didn’t let off even the daggers on the ground, he couldn’t help but shake his head. He commanded the flying dragon beneath him and soared into the sky. He flew out ahead and rushed toward Astonvela Manor. He was followed closely by the Chief Elven Priestess, Sword God Gerald, and their clansmen. The team quickly disappeared on the horizon!
“Let’s go, let’s go quickly. Let’s follow them and leave along with them. Hurry up!”
“Brother Lafrenz, wait for me.”
...
When the Wanderers, who survived the crisis by luck, saw Yang Ling’s group leaving quickly, they didn’t hesitate any longer and they followed them without even treating their winds. They hoped to follow Yang Ling’s team and cross with them Baikal Lake, which was filled with Magical Beasts. Yang Ling had lured away all Magical Beasts in the camp, and this was how they managed to survive the crisis. But they didn’t have a large number of people. There were only ten left in total!
Swoosh!
The crowd was swift and they left the camp far away.
Originally, the crowd had to avoid the Magical Beasts’ habitat because many Magical Beasts were lurking in Baikal Lake’s vicinity and they must sneak over carefully. But now, most Magical Beasts, those that could pose a threat to them, had been lured far away by Yang Ling, and this was they had an easy journey. They managed to quickly cross this trouble spot, and they got closer to Astonvela Manor.
Yang Ling’s team was cheerful and lively, and they traveled faster. Meanwhile, in a hillside, several thousand miles from them, the black-clothed Dio’s face was ashen. He had seen this affair’s whole process through the Magical Crystal Ball, and he was so infuriated that he gnashed his teeth. He was so frustrated that he had almost vomited blood!
He didn’t expect that after he put so much effort into this; he didn’t just fail to get Yang Ling’s Godhead, he also lost the dwarf, who was adept at Earth Travel Spell.
He suffered a double loss upon trying to trick the enemy!
“Young Master, the scouts have transmitted back the latest news. They aren’t able to fathom Yang Ling’s real status and the Plane Channel in the Graveyard of Gods and Devils leading to Tailun Continent is sealed by a Fire Magical Formation Spell. It’s also guarded by a large group of terrifying Fire Giants, and our clan’s warriors who traveled into Tailun Continent were obstructed by them. Even Girisek isn’t able to get inside. He was almost killed on the spot by a group of Fire Giants.”
The black-robed Vitaly wore a grave expression, and he muttered to himself for a moment before he said, “Young Master if I’m not mistaken, Yang Ling’s identity is anything but simple. He is either supported by a powerful clan or he has a teacher with terrifying power. The Spatial Teleportation Law is very important, but we still mustn’t sow hatred with an unknown large faction for a Godhead. Besides, even if you get his Godhead, you may not necessarily be able to fuse with it and comprehend the Spatial Teleportation Law.”
Unknown forces were the scariest!
The reason why killers were scary wasn’t that they possessed great power, but that they hid in the dark and none knew their true power. None also knew when they would attack, and it was impossible to guard against them effectively.
Even though their group was powerful, and they belonged to Algernon Divine Branch, which had a great influence, Vitaly still didn’t want to sow hatred with an unknown large faction, and he didn’t want the Young Master he protected to suffer any mishaps.
Even Girisek was almost killed on the spot?
Dio’s expression was grave. The warriors in charge of the investigation were the clan’s elites, and their power was no small matter. As for Girisek, he was among the best, and he advanced from a Second-Level Divine Duty Expert to a Third-Level Divine Duty Expert several thousand years ago. He possessed an Algernon Divine Ring with three Dragon’s heads, and his power was great.
Even Girisek had almost died in the Magical Formation Spell, and this matter was surely anything but simple.
“It seems like the Materialistic Plane called Tailun Continent is more complex than we imagined.” Dio took a deep breath and strived to keep his calm. It was like what Vitaly had said, Yang Ling’s Godhead was very important, but if he provoked a powerful faction and affected his plan to take control over the clan, then the gains wouldn’t make up for the loss.
“Young Master, if I’m right, Yang Ling should have already entered Astonvela Manor’s influence scope. Now, no matter if they stay temporarily in the villa or ride God-Level Magical Beasts to travel to the Wanderer Castle, we won’t be able to attack them again. No one knows when they will leave, and we don’t have time to waste with them. Don’t you think that it’s like so?” Vitaly was quite prudent and tried to tactfully to dissuade the young master and make him give up on this.
“Humph!”
Dio snorted coldly and didn’t express his opinion about Vitaly’s statement. He just turned around and left. He was followed quickly by the crowd at a high-speed and they shortly disappeared on the horizon.
Yang Ling’s team was quite swift because they had transportations means such as the mammoths and Twin-legged Flying Dragons. They nearly never stopped in the way, and they managed to reach the majestic Astonvela Manor by nightfall.
There was a boundless plain that stretched as far as the eye could see and a castle bigger than Wissen Castle was built on the plain. It had pitch-black walls and many complex symbols were carved on them. There were also tall Magic Towers that reached the clouds, and their spires were faintly visible among the clouds. The whole castle emitted obscure Energy Ripples, and it seemed like a heart that throbbed strongly and steadily.
The castle had a large expanse, and if one observed it from afar, he would discover that many buildings were erected in it and a limpid river was around the castle’s walls. There was also a lush forest and flourishing grassland near the castle. There was fresh air and a beautiful environment. If one observed the castle from afar, it would seem like a villa pleasing to the eye.
Astonvela Manor. This was a Wanderer Camp built by the expert Vela Aston, and it was protected by him. Its size and environments were greater than independent camps formed by Wanderers by many folds.
There weren’t any soldiers on guard around the city walls, and there weren’t any Magic Crystal Cannons or large crossbows. There were only several soldiers in black armor at the castle’s entrance, and their guard seemed lax. But the unruly Wanderers still followed the rules well and none dared to mess around here. Even Dio, whose clan had a large influence, didn’t dare to chase Yang Ling’s group into this villa and attack them.
None dared to rashly provoke the powerhouses who practiced in seclusion in the Graveyard of Gods and Devils for innumerable years!
